Bring the Beat Back: Examining Pulsed Field Ablation
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an irregular, often very rapid heart rhythm. During AFib, the heart’s atria beat out of sync with its ventricles. Because not enough blood is pumped out of the atria, blood pools in the area, which can clot. The condition increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiac complications.
Using 3D printing for drug delivery innovation
Medicine is advancing faster than ever before. In 2024, scientists made significant progress and breakthrough discoveries across disciplines from beginning the world’s first routine childhood immunisation campaign against malaria to clinically testing an affordable, copycat version of insulin.
Equipment aesthetics: the companies improving mobility aid design
Assistive devices prioritise function over form, but some users have criticised their lack of aesthetic appeal.
Realizing Innovation in Medical Equipment Manufacturing Through Strategic Product Planning
Strategic product planning forms the backbone of patient care and operational efficiency.
Designing Medical Devices for Manufacturing Automation and Large-Scale Production
Strict compliance with regulatory standards has brought Design for Automation to the forefront of product development.
Coating could make medical devices safer for patients
Designed to mimic the natural behavior of blood vessels, the new material could allow for safer use of blood-contacting devices, especially in cases where blood clots are a significant concern.
